This year's event was a carbon neutral event, thanks to CarbonFund.org's "CarbonFree Surfing" project - a program to let ocean-minded folks address their carbon footprints. Roger Payne and Lisa Harrow opened the Festival at the Cowell Theater Thursday night with " SeaChange: Reversing the Tide" . On Friday , the Festival welcomed attendees with a party at the Aquarium of the Bay which featured organic food, a silent auction, live music and dancing On January 31st and February 1st, SFOFF 2008 hosted school groups invited from around the Bay Area to view special film screenings and talks organized through SFOFF's Educational Program. One of the organic foods that created a lot of comments was an organic, kosher tortilla chip which is shaped like a Whale's Tail and the company gives 10% back to ocean conservation. This unique tortilla chip has a delicious flavoring called "Alaea" that comes from the Hawaiian Islands. The Whale Tail chips were donated by a local organic food distributor Lucas Moen of West Coast Distribution. Laurie Jake a volunteer with SFOFF contacted Ric and his wife Terry the co founders of Whale Tails Tortilla Chips to request product donation for this year's Seven Seas Cafe. Laurie said "It was fun to work with the Sea/C menu theme Chips (Whale Tails), Carrot Ginger Soup, Caprese Sandwich ,Curried Rice & Chickpea Salad, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Crystal Geyser Juices, Coffee & Chamomile Tea. Ric and Terry donated their organic chips last year and we were glad to hear that they now have distribution in San Francisco. We want to thank West Coast Distribution for their generous donation and helping us with our fund raising" A few of the stars gracing the giant screen during this year's four day festival were swimmers braving the waters of the North Pole, sea birds coming back from extinction in Bermuda, deep dives into marine science, coastal cultures, ocean exploration, saltwater sports. and eco-savvy fishermen in Papua New Guinea. Now in its 5th year, SFOFF is the largest film festival of its kind in North America. Ocean Film Clips and Whale Tail Shaped Tortilla Chips
